OzzieMandias Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Good news for the mackems and us. Hopefully, some money will get thrown Sunderland's way to help tart up their hole of a city. It's not a city, doesnt have a proper catherdral Not sure what your point is. It's clearly a city. As much as mackems (the footballer supporters) are deluded idiots, mackems the people are good, NE folk like the rest of us. Maybe yes, but they are still not a proper city, They won it in a lottery for the queens golden jubilee Official city status in Britain is granted by the monarch. That's precisely what makes a "proper city". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Lets not forget that some stadia and maybe some cities will be chucked out if the bid is accpeted, though I do feel both of our cities should be safe from the axe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedro111 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Cant see us both avoiding the further cull tbh. This is the north east remember, we dont get what we want. 2 stadiums 12 miles apart? We've got nee chance imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 If we win the bid then this is excellent news. SJP, SOL and Elland Road all easily within reach to watch matches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ProudToBeAGeordie Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 So we have to wait over a year now just to find out ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offshore Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Should we get the WC, then I think us and the SOL will be ok, you can base a whole group up here. Home park, MK's, Bristol and unless they virtually rebuild it, Elland Road look the ones at real threat. That would have London as a base for a group or two, the North West for the same, East/West mids, Sheffield/Leeds (if ok) and us for a group, with another fitted in somewhere - probably Laandan.

Guest eltsacwen Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Is an expansion of St James Park likely? Or is it out of the question because of the listed buildings and problems with Strawberry Pl and reinforcement of the underground St James Metro station.

Stifler Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Is an expansion of St James Park likely? Or is it out of the question because of the listed buildings and problems with Strawberry Pl and reinforcement of the underground St James Metro station. The east stand will never be able to go above it's current height, but their maybe a way to bring it down, rebuild it and change the layout so that more seats could be put in, but that would very unlikely be finicially viable. The Gallowgate can be extended, with modern engineering and such now it is possible, an extension of the Gallowgate alone would take capacity to between 60,000-62,000. It should also be worth noting that Fat Fred wanted to increase capacity similar to this just before Mike Ashley came to the club, then Mike Ashley also had plans to aswell, even releasing renders, and also the Singapore group who wanted to buy us last summer said that they too would increase capacity to atleast 60,000 if their bid was successful.

I think that's the case, anyway. I think FIFA have a minimum of 12 and maximum of 15 or something, dont think theres another cull at all otherwise why bother a year before its decided?
